This Is The Football Season

This is the football Season it is that time of yearWhen men in the pub talk football as they enjoy their beerAnd look forward to September when one club will fly the winner's flagThe team that wins the Premiership gives their fans the right to brag.

Their wives nicknamed the footy widows their husbands at the football clubOr after work talking football with their mates down at the local pubThey take football so seriously 'tis their passion in lifeThe footy fan loves his football club as much as his children or his wife.

And if their team lose at the weekend they feel and look so sadWhat's known as football addiction they seem to have it badThey feel sad for their football team and the chance of four premiership points goneBut they cheer up and look forward to next weekend's game as the working week wears on.

This is the football Season football has gone to their headAnd their football scarves and beanies they even wear to bedAbout their team they feel so passionate as if to them it did belongAnd 'tis with delight and pride in victory that they sing the club song.
